healed on Sabbath (Matt. 12:7).

2. Judging on basis of the
flesh (worldly standards), Jno. 8:15.

3. Since God looks at the heart,
we must be careful: What appears to be one thing may in fact be
something else, 1 Sam. 16:6-7.

4. Simon judged appearances
rather than fact, Lk. 7:43 (36-50).

forbidden, 1 Cor. 4:5. “…secret things, of
which it is impossible that those who do not know the hearts of men should make
up a judgment, do not judge of them before the time, when God will certainly
come to judge all men.” (Poole, Online Bible)
